The One-Ingredient All-Natural Makeup Remover

At the end of a long day, nothing feels better than a clean, freshly washed face, yeah? It's getting all the makeup and build-up off in one fell swoop that's the tough part. The miracle fix that's waiting right under your nose? Coconut oil. Yep, that's right. As a matter of fact, SELFMade Collective contributor (our exclusive network of beauty and wellness members) Jillian Denning swears by it as her go-to for everything from a hair fix to a moisturizer to a cooking ingredient. It’s 100% natural and doesn’t have any weird chemicals. Also, it removes mascara like nobody's business. Using coconut oil as makeup remover will completely revolutionize your nightly routine. In a pinch, find it in the pantry of a friend or random family (it is, after all, a cooking must), or keep the all-natural makeup remover in your purse. Check the beyond easy instructions and marvel at how you ever lived without it.

What you need:

Coconut oil (Make sure to buy an extra virgin variety)

Warm water

Cotton pads

Directions: Rub a teaspoon portion of coconut oil between your fingers. Gently apply to the makeup you wish to remove. (It works especially well on tricky mascara and eyeliner.) Rub until your makeup is loose. Use warm water and cotton pads to wipe clean. Note: If you don’t remove all of the coconut oil, don’t fret: coconut oil is a great moisturizer and can help strengthen your eyelashes and smooth your skin.
